We’re heading into the 11th hour of Closed Beta launch prep and we’re super excited to introduce a bunch of brand new players to the world of Midair. In advance of hitting this important milestone, we’re releasing our final patch NOW before we launch! We’ll keep this log short and focus on the patch notes so we can get back to work with our final preparations.

See you all very soon!

NEW: Instead if the annoyingly sweet and smooth "billiard ball goes in the pocket and gets launched" animation for the mortar, we have decided that people will prefer a mortar model that takes up 3/4 of your screen and for an animation we will have an epileptic seizure combined with the sweet sound of stretching rubber! better huh?

oh, and who the hell needs to say sorry to team mates! its for the enemy!!!!
